excellent OFront accomodations; reasonable price. clean. no bugs!! convenient gift shop at Villa Tropical for a variety of souvenirs and necessities. snorkeling is great if conditions are right. beautiful quiet neighborhood. I adore the owners and staff at VT. very kind and helpful. I have been coming back here for 8 years. I bring friends and family.

Day trips include gozalandia Falls, rincon beaches or Artwalk, Tres Palmas marine preserve, hiking around Las Ruinas, walking down the beach, Jobo beach, the tunnel and “face” in Isabela; many good restaurants and food trucks nearby. plus grocery shopping and cooking in su casa.

My husband and I lodged at Villa Tropical's unit M4 over a long weekend in May. The quiet surroundings were utter perfection. M4 has 180-degree waterfront views, roomy patio space, and everything you need for a tropical getaway. The staff is friendly and attentive but not intrusive. Our unit was clean and fully prepared for our arrival. With the exception of the front room air conditioner not fully working (a part was on order during our stay - supply chain!), we could not have been more satisfied!

My boyfriend and I stayed in the Front Shack at Villa Tropical, and it was nothing short of amazing. I really wasn’t sure what to expect upon booking, and was quite nervous, but I was pleasantly surprised with basically everything. I wasn’t able to meet Jennifer or Trevor, but we did have the pleasure of meeting Joycelyn and she was so lovely! We had a good time chatting with her about the culture, and she ever so kindly explained some of the language to us.

Our apartment was that of a studio; when you first walk in there is a fridge and stove to your left and a kitchenette to your right. It is fully stocked with silverware and dishes (including cooking utensils, wine glasses, and tupperware). There is a fully functioning grill on the front deck, we used it one afternoon. Moving further into the apartment you have a couch and swivel TV, then a full sized bed. A large closet comes next followed by the bathroom. It is small but it is clean and the hot water in the shower works well along with good water pressure.

I didn’t realize Villa Tropical was developed beyond this AirBnb ad. So, I would advise you to take time to look at their website, as there is a lot of helpful information I wish I would’ve known….
For example: I believe you can utilize the laundry machines- this I did not realize and feel really bad for leaving dirty linens. I also read on their website that they will stock your fridge for a fee; I think this really would’ve helped us, as we arrived on Easter day and everything was closed. Snorkel equipment can be rented for $10 total for your whole stay. Also, we drove to walmart and spent literally half our day there; save yourself the headache and go to the Econo that’s like 5 minutes away from the Villa. We never made it to Ola Lola’s.. They were always closed when we wanted to go, but we did go to the Eclipse, and I would recommend it just for its ambiance and how close it is to the Villa. There is a gift shop attached to the Villa stocked with liquor, sunscreen, gifts, tshirts, ect.

I really jam packed a bunch into our trip, and if I could do it over again I would plan more time to just hang out at the Villa. The beach is literally your backyard - you step out onto the huge deck and have the most gorgeous view, then you go down the steps and you’re touching sand. If you walk the beach to the left (Towards Eclipse), it literally goes untouched for miles and most of the time you only run into one or two people. Right out front the Villa, there is a good assortment of fish to see when snorkeling. Our neighbors saw a sea turtle.
